Nothing is really new on the adoption front, but it had been awhile since I’d written anything about what was happening. I know both Jenna and I were hoping that we’d get a call this week, but…

We’re still waiting, still number 5 on the list as far as we know. Yet, I must say as hard as it is to be in a period of waiting, we’ve been so encouraged.

Weekly, I’m blown away by the generosity shown toward our family and a child that NO ONE has ever met – whose name we don’t even know! In the past few weeks, we’ve received gift after gift from friends and family. And in fact, the monies we’ve received have completely paid for our waiting fees that were added on to the bill. And along with the gifts, the scores of e-mails, cards and notes of prayers and encouragement have touched us beyond words, bringing us to tears.

I was discussing this with a friend the other day, he noted that all of this generosity proves that something much greater than ourselves is at word. This whole process is orchestrated beyond any scheme we could muster. God is truly at work in this process.

Just a huge shout out to all of you. You know who you are…. Know that we are speechless and feel so loved right now. This child will be as much yours as he is ours.

    so hey, i just kinda came across your blog from a google search on scrubs life lessons, but then i figured i’d be a creep and look further, anyways, i just want to say that i think it’s, i have no other word for it, awesome that you’re adopting. being adopted as well as having a sister that is as well, it never ceases to amaze me how, well, i don’t want to say lucky, or fortunate, because i don’t like to believe that it was luck. i like to believe that something bigger was going on in where everything that went on to get me here, happened for a reason and that nothing was left to chance and coincidence.

    anyways, i’m getting aside from the point. coming from the other end of adoption, even though waiting kind of sucks, especially for something like this, you can’t help but feel as though whenever that letter or call comes, it was meant to be.
